It monitors applications and processes as they are run and then uses it's heuristic scanning engine to look for suspicious behavior. ![]() "Active Threat Control" is essentially Bitdefender's heuristic malware detection technology. It's something I have never had to use, but I can see it could be very handy should you not be able to startup Windows. Included is a "Rescue mode" - a secure and isolated environment outside of Windows, that allows you to scan for malware on drive partitions should you not be able to start Windows. You can also right hand click on the file/folder to initiate a scan. I was struggling at first to figure out how I could scan a single file/folder, but you can do so by dragging and dropping the file/folder on the security widget.

It's designed for users who don't want to be constantly notified of any issues, updates or messages. In the top right hand corner of the home screen is the "Autopilot" feature that lets Bitdefender handle everything for you. This is particularly useful if one of them appears to have a negative effect on your computers performance. I've always liked the way that Bitdefender has modularised its features and allows you to individually switch them on/off. Like with previous versions of Bitdefender, this years user interface is slick and on trend with that flat looking Windows design - it looks nice on the eye.Ī left hand navigation offers logically grouped sections and I never really struggle to find anything while using the software.
